Work Overview
Nowhere in Particular, scored for solo viola over an electronic soundscape, deals with themes of identity and environment. With a meandering, curious character, the viola traverses a foreign environment of strange bells, synthesizers and warped echoes, as if searching for a home in unfamiliar territory. The electronics create a warm bed of sound, though its gently pulsating harmony is unsettling in nature. Our soloist is never quite able to overcome their otherness and isolation from the environment, becoming increasingly agitated as time wears on. In the end, they abandon their soliloquy and are joined by an unexpected visitor. I chose the viola to work with on this project because I'm drawn to its dark, thick lower register and the quiet warmth of its higher range. It has the ability to express deeper, subtler shades of sound than its companions.
